Abstract
This report describes 20 pts with acute renal failure due to hemorrhag ic fever with renal syndrome. Medullary hemorrhages, tubular edema wit h interstitial infiltrates are possibly involved in the urinary reflux of Tamm-Horsfall protein back to the glomerulus, as TH was detected b y monoclonal Ab in the Bowman's space. This finding is in favor of an obstructive mechanism in the genesis of ARF. Complete recovery of rena l function was noticed in every pt.
